Two absolute LEGENDS lost in a matter of days...what a sad week for music.

See, I think the job we did on Pet Sounds was in some ways meant to help people understand that love is not . . . a word. What we did was . . . what I did, anyway, ’cos that was really my album, in that I wanted to impart something that I had. It was a childhood dream of mine, to make music that made people feel loved, OK? And I have a thing for making people cry. So, I took on that kind of karma for a while . . . But I couldn’t get that out of my blood. It was a very loving album, and a source of embarrassment for me. My masculine side had to take a bow, like a little hiatus, to get Pet Sounds to happen. But I did it. I did it ’cos I needed to. They say, “What about these high feminine parts, Brian?” – Well, that’s how I felt, man. I wanted to be a girl in my voice, so I did. I wanted to sing like a girl. Not consciously, but it was all figured out in my brain, waiting for me to do it. So I went in there, put some beautiful music on tape . . . That Don’t Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder) . . .
